I am a Jewish content creator, specializing in the Hasidic neighborhoods in the New York City area. I am fascinated by society, human nature, modernity and technology. I stay in touch with the evolving Hasidic community through the tours I give of Hasidic Williamsburg. I release new videos on a regular basis. My channel members get early access to new videos as a sign of appreciation of their support. You can support me directly, and get a tax-deductible 501(c)3 donation, by using Fractured Atlas.

Video Description
Why do some Hasidic non-believers stay? What's it like to live a double life? What are the moral quandaries of leaving or living a double life? Is it moral to have an affair after an arranged marriage? My wonderful guest delves into so many fascinating topics. Ayala Fader is Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University. She is the author of the book 'Hidden Heretics, Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age', which tells the stories of a group of hidden heretics, how they lost faith and how they navigated life in the community in their new ways of understanding the world. You can find the book here: https://amzn.to/4cOoKVa The book also explores the impact of the internet on Hasidic Judaism, a topic which as the viewers of this channel will know, has fascinated me greatly and been the subject of several of my videos, including my major documentary on how an insular society deals with the internet [https://youtu.be/SQ-oaSPueTk?si=51djJQWzoWJi9nPC.] Ayala also wrote the award-winning book Mitzvah Girls Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn.
